My Ideal Client

I work primary with queer and trans communities as well as those who have experienced marginalization in any other way. I have a particular interest in working with young adults roughly ages 16-30 as this is often a time of identity development and exploration. I have experience working with people struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, disability, neurodivergence, school, life transitions, gender identity, queer issues, and relationship & family challenges.

My Approach to Helping

I draw upon interventions from psychoanalytic psychotherapy, attachment focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, radical acceptance, mindfulness, CBT, and health at every size. As an attachment focused therapist, my therapeutic work with clients centers around helping people better understand how attachment wounds and early experiences of caregiving impact relationships later in life, both with ourselves and with others. I have extensive training and personal experience in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and I believe strongly in the use of transference in the therapeutic relationship. Through my own personal and professional work, I have learned that some of the most transformative and healing work can be accomplished simply by exploring our connection as therapist and client.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My practice and core values are rooted in social justice, anti-oppressive based practice, and leftist political ideology. I am committed to taking accountability for my own privileges and how these impact my work as a therapist and enjoy helping clients better understand how privilege and oppression impact their mental health. I believe in a future that centers restorative justice, indigenous rights, universal healthcare, queer liberation, disability justice, and anti-racism.
